ABSTRACT

The present invention relate to a novel silane coupling agent and a medical and/or dental curable composition comprising the same. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel silane coupling agent that imparts high affinity to a radical polymerizable monomer, thereby imparting high mechanical strength, flexibility and durability when used for a medical and/or dental curable composition, and an inorganic filler surface-treated with the novel silane coupling agent and a novel medical and/or dental curable composition. A silane coupling agent including repeating units such as a urethane bond and polyethylene glycol (ether bond) at a specific position is used.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a novel silane coupling agent and a medical and/or dental curable composition comprising the same.

Description of the Related Art

In the medical and/or dental field, metal prosthetic appliances and synthetic resin molded articles and the like have been used for repair of defects in bones and teeth. For adhesion thereof to living hard tissues, an adhesive containing an adhesive polymerizable monomer has been frequently used. In the medical and/or dental field, a medical and/or dental curable composition, so-called composite resin, has been used in clinical settings on a daily basis. An uncured body (before radical polymerization) paste is filled in a defect part such as teeth, and then external energy such as photoirradiation is imparted, thus obtaining a radical polymerization cured body.

Generally, in these adhesives and composite resins, (meth)acrylic acid derivative monomers such as methyl methacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate and urethan-based dimethacrylate have been used. In free radical polymerization (hereinafter referred to as radical polymerization) of vinyl monomers such as these (meth)acrylic acid derivative monomers, a carbon-carbon double bond is cleaved to become a single bond, thus forming a polymer and leading to cure. To this composite resin, not only vinyl monomers but also inorganic fillers are added for the purpose of improving the mechanical strength. Generally, these inorganic fillers are surface-treated with a silane coupling agent having a polymerizable group to attempt to improve the wettability and to improve the mechanical strength. In the medical and/or dental field, conventionally γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (hereinafter referred to as KBM-503) as the silane coupling agent has been widely used. When a particle that is surface-treated with the compound is used, there were problems that hydrolysis tends to progress due to low hydrophobicity and that the durability of the material is low. Also, there was a drawback that sufficient mechanical strength cannot be obtained.

Therefore, in order to improve the durability and filling rate of the material, a method for using a silane coupling agent having a long alkyl chain (Patent literatures 1 to 3), a method for using a silane coupling agent using a fluoroalkylene group (Patent literature 4) and a method for using a silane coupling agent having many polymerizable groups (Patent literature 5) have been proposed.

Patent literature 1: JP 2-134307 A Patent literature 2: JP 3-70778 A Patent literature 3: JP 2015-196682 A Patent literature 4: JP 2007-238567 A Patent literature 5: JP 2010-229054 A

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved

However, when the methods mentioned in JP 2-134307 A, JP 3-70778 A and JP 2015-196682 A was applied to a medical and/or dental composite resin, which is one of medical and/or dental curable compositions, there was a room for improvement in the mechanical strength. In other words, simply a long alkyl chain led to lack of flexibility and pressure-sensitive adhesion/adhesion. When the method mentioned in JP 2007-238567 A was applied to a medical and/or dental material, the water resistance was low and the durability of the material was insufficient. Thus, it is insufficient to achieve both the durability and the mechanical strength of a material that used a silane coupling agent of the prior art was insufficient, and there was a room for further improvement.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel silane coupling agent that imparts high affinity to a radical polymerizable monomer, thereby imparting high mechanical strength, flexibility and durability when used for a medical and/or dental curable composition, and an inorganic filler surface-treated with the novel silane coupling agent and a novel medical and/or dental curable composition.

Means to Solve the Problems

The inventors of the present application have intensively studied and found that high affinity to a radical polymerizable monomer is imparted by surface-treating an inorganic filler with a silane coupling agent having a specific chemical structure. This enabled to imparting high mechanical strength, flexibility and pressure-sensitive adhesion/adhesion when the silane coupling agent is used for a medical and/or dental curable composition.

Effect of the Invention

By surface-treating an inorganic filler with the silane coupling agent of the present invention, high affinity to a radical polymerizable monomer is expressed, thus imparting high mechanical strength, flexibility and pressure-sensitive adhesion/adhesion to a medical and/or dental curable composition. Use of the present invention may also impart less polymerization shrinkage.

This high affinity effect remarkably appears when a radical polymerizable monomer has an urethane group. This is considered to be due to the fact that the silane coupling agent has an urethan bond. In other words, an inorganic filler surface-treated with the silane coupling agent of the present invention has a surface on which an urethane group is introduced, which is considered to express remarkable high affinity to a radical polymerizable monomer having an urethane group. The present invention enables highly filling of an inorganic filler, thus enabling achievement of high mechanical strength. Since the silane coupling agent molecule of the present invention has a repeating unit such as elastic polyethylene glycol (ether bond), the flexibility, pressure-sensitive adhesion and durability may be greatly improved.

Therefore, the silane coupling agent may have the following structures:

CH₂═C(CH₃)—C(O)—O—CH₂—CH₂—O—CH₂—CH₂—NHCO—

CH₂—CH—C(O)—O—CH₂—CH₂—O—CH₂—CH₂—NHCO—.

When an inorganic filler is surface-treated using the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention, the treatment concentration is generally preferably 0.05 mass time to 10 mass times the concentration of the inorganic filler although it depends on the density (mol/g) of the silanol group of the mother particle. Treatment with a concentration lower than 0.05 mass time is not preferable since the silane coupling agent cannot be sufficiently introduced, and a treatment with a concentration exceeding 10 mass times is not preferable since a condensate of only the silane coupling agent is produced, affecting the mechanical strength.

Although their chemical compositions are not particularly limited, examples of the inorganic filler treated with the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention include silicon dioxide, alumina, silica-titania, silica-titania-barium oxide, silica-zirconia, silica-alumina, lanthanum glass, borosilicate glass, soda glass, barium glass, strontium glass, glass ceramic, aluminosilicate glass, barium boroaluminosilicate glass, strontium boroaluminosilicate glass, fluoroaluminosilicate glass, calcium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, strontium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, barium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, strontium calcium fluoroaluminosilicate glass and the like. Particularly, barium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, strontium fluoroaluminosilicate glass, fluoroaluminosilicate glass and the like, which are used in medical and/or dental glass ionomer cement, resin modified glass ionomer cement and resin cement and the like, can also be suitably used. The fluoroaluminosilicate glass as used herein has a basic structure of silicon oxide and aluminum oxide and contains an alkali metal for introducing non-crosslinked oxygen. The fluoroaluminosilicate glass further has an alkaline earth metal including strontium and fluorine as modified/coordinated ions. The fluoroaluminosilicate glass is also a composition in which a lanthanoid series element is incorporated into the skeleton in order to impart further radiopacity. This lanthanoid series element also participates in the composition as a modified/coordinated ion according to the composition range. These inorganic fillers may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. The composition ratio of the inorganic filler treated with the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention in the medical and/or dental curable composition in the present invention is not particularly limited, and is preferably in the range of 25 to 90% by weight. It is not preferable that the composition ratio is 25% by weight or less since the mechanical (physical) strength of the cured product is low. It is not preferable that the composition ratio is 90% by weight or more since clinical operability is poor due to too high viscosity of the prepared paste. Furthermore, the average particle size of the inorganic filler is preferably 0.001 to 100 μm, and more preferably 0.001 to 10 μm. Furthermore, the shape of the inorganic filler may be either spherical or indefinite shape. “Average particle size” as used herein means a particle size at an integrated value of 50% in the particle size distribution determined by a laser diffraction/scattering method.

When the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention is applied to the medical and/or dental curable composition, the radical polymerizable monomer to be included is included in the medical and/or dental curable composition in the amount of preferably 10 to 60% by weight, and more preferably 15 to 30% by weight. When the amount is 10% by weight or less, the viscosity of the medical and/or dental curable composition is too high, which may cause defects, and when the ratio is 60% by weight or more, the strength of the medical and/or dental curable composition may decrease.

As the radical polymerizable monomer used in the medical and/or dental curable composition of the embodiments of the present invention, a radical polymerizable monomer that has been used in the medical and/or dental field can be used without limitation, and it is preferable that the molecular skeleton thereof has an urethan bond. The urethan bond (—NH—C(O)—O—) is for effectively forming a hydrogen bond with the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the radical polymerizable monomer as used herein include 7,7,9-trimethyl-4,13-dioxo-3,14-dioxa-5,12-diazahexadecane-1,16-diyl dimethacrylate (UDMA) synthesized by a urethan reaction of 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), radical polymerizable monomers synthesized by a urethan reaction of HEMA or hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) with each of 2,4-toluylenediisocyanate, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate, naphthalene diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate, urethan diacrylates obtained by reaction with aliphatic and/or aromatic diisocyanate glycerol (meth)acrylate or 3-methacrylol-2-hydroxypropyl ester, an urethan reactant of 1,3-bis(2-isocyanate,2-propyl)benzene with a compound having a hydroxy group and the like.

[Evaluation Results]

The bending strength test results of medical and/or dental composite resins prepared based on Examples are shown in [Table 2-1] and [Table 2-2]. As is apparent from these results, medical and/or dental composite resins including fine particles prepared using silane coupling agents synthesized (Synthesis Examples 1-I to 7-I, 1-II to 7-II and 1-III to 7-III) by the present invention have obviously high bending strength properties as compared with medical and/or dental composite resins using long chain silane coupling agents having no ethylene oxide group (ether bond) (Comparative Synthesis Examples 1 to 3) or commercially available silane coupling agents. It is particularly apparent that breaking energy properties are significantly improved. In other words, by surface-treating an inorganic filler with the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention, a medical and/or dental composite resin cured body exhibits toughness, thus imparting high mechanical strength to a medical and/or dental material.

It is assumed that the above results are involved in the fact that the flexibility is imparted by the ethylene oxide group (ether bond). Meanwhile, as mentioned in Comparative Examples, bending strength properties of the medical and/or dental composite resin cured body including the inorganic filler surface-treated with the silane coupling agent having no ethylene oxide group (ether bond) tends to improve as the alkylene chain becomes longer. However, it was absolutely impossible to say that the effect is remarkable as compared with the case where the silane coupling agent of the embodiments of the present invention is used. Subsequently, the tensile strength test and elongation test results of the pressure-sensitive adhesive paste are shown in the evaluation results [Table 2-3]. As is apparent from the results, the elongation significantly increased as the number of the ethylene oxide groups (ether bonds) increased. It is assumed that this is because the flexibility was imparted by the ethylene oxide group (ether bond), like the bending strength test results. In Comparative Examples using a silane coupling agent of the structure having no ethylene oxide group (ether bond), the elongation exhibited a remarkably low value. The reason is considered that carbon-carbon bonding of the alkylene chain is inferior in flexibility as compared with the ethylene oxide group (ether bond). The adhesion (pressure-sensitive adhesion) test results of the pressure-sensitive adhesive paste between various adherends are shown in the evaluation results [Table 2-4]. As is apparent from these results, the pressure-sensitive adhesive paste using the silane coupling agent having an ethylene oxide group (ether bond) of the embodiments of the present invention exhibited satisfactory adhesion (pressure-sensitive adhesion) to glass, metal and plastic. It is considered that this factor is also attributed to polarity of the ethylene oxide group (ether bond). Finally, the polymerization shrinkage rate test results are shown in the evaluation results [Table 2-5][Table 2-6]. As is apparent from these test results, the medical and/or dental composite resins including fine particles prepared using silane coupling agents synthesized by the present invention (Synthesis Examples 1-I to 7-I, 1-II to 7-II and 1-III to 7-III) exhibited significant improvement in polymerization shrinkage as compared with the medical and/or dental composite resins using long chain silane coupling agents having no ethylene oxide group (ether bond) (Comparative Synthesis Examples 1 to 3). The reason is considered that the ethylene oxide group (ether bond) is extended so as to release shrinkage stress during polymerization. This high adhesion (pressure-sensitive adhesion) has a high application value not only in a medical and/or dental material, but also in bonding of electronic component material substrates including smartphones and bonding to automotive materials in the general industrial field. As is apparent from the above evaluation results, the silane coupling agent having an ether bond such as an ethylene oxide group in the present invention made it possible to provide a medical and/or dental curable composition having high mechanical strength that could not been achieved by the prior art, and applications thereof in the general industrial field such as for bonding of electronic component material substrates including smartphones and automotive materials.

It is assumed that the above results are also involved in the fact that the long chain alkylene group and a plurality of urethane groups are imparted. As is apparent from the bending strength test results, the silane coupling agent having a long chain alkylene group and a plurality of urethane groups of the embodiments of the present invention made it possible to provide a medical and/or dental curable composition having high mechanical strength that could not been achieved by the prior art, and applications thereof in the general industrial field such as for bonding of electronic component material substrates including smartphones and automotive materials. Subsequently, the measurement results of the Hazen color index determined by a color tone stability test are shown in Table 2-7. As is apparent from these measurement results, there was no large difference in Hazen color index between the polymerizable silane coupling agents including no platinum complex synthesized in Synthesis Examples 1 to 7 and two types of polymerizable silane coupling agents [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate] available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., immediately after synthesis and purchasing, and after storing under a shading condition at 50° C. for a month. Meanwhile, there was a large difference in Hazen color index between the polymerizable silane coupling agent including a platinum complex synthesized in Comparative Synthesis Example 1, immediately after synthesis, and after storing under a shading condition at 50° C. for a month. It is considered that this large change in color tone is attributed to the remaining platinum complex. Subsequently, the measurement results relating to the color tone stability of the cured body are shown in Table 2-8. As is apparent from these measurement results, there was no large change in color tone of the medical and/or dental composite resin cured bodies including an inorganic filler surface-modified with the polymerizable silane coupling agents including no platinum complex synthesized in Synthesis Examples 1 to 7 and two types of polymerizable silane coupling agents [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate] available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. Meanwhile, there arose a large difference in color tone of the medical and/or dental composite resin cured body including an inorganic filler surface-modified with the polymerizable silane coupling agents including a platinum complex synthesized in Comparative Synthesis Example 1, leading to remarkable yellowing. As is apparent from these test results, it is revolutionary in that no discoloration due to aesthetically important noble metal is not observed in the medical and/or dental curable composition. Since no noble metal as a hydrosilylation catalyst is used during synthesis, it became possible to decrease manufacturing costs.

Regarding the silane coupling agent that is currently being used, not limited to the medical and/or dental field and the general industrial field, compounds having a long alkylene chain are used to improve various physical properties. However, the alkylene chain is nonpolar and has properties that are inferior in elasticity. Therefore, as compared with a low molecular weight silane coupling agent (number of alkylene chains: 3, etc.), although the effect of an improvement in various physical properties was recognized, the silane coupling agent was inferior in adhesion, flexibility and pressure-sensitive adhesion. The silane coupling agent of the present invention has solved those problems, so that it is possible to say that its industrial applicability is great.
